Description and Table of Contents
Description
Developments in design and construction have resulted in slender structures in which dynamic effects must be considered. Ocean areas and seismic zones are now common environments for large structures and these require the structural engineer to understand and solve dynamics problems. This book is written for practising engineers whose formal studies did not include structural dynamics, and for undergraduates and postgraduates, and includes a range of worked examples.
